Grandma says it's finally time to let go of Grandpa's last Model A restoration project, his 1930 Deluxe Town Sedan. A long-time MAFCA member and perfectionist with his cars, he struggled to finish it, then took it on just one short trip before he fell ill. Started up and run occasionally with no...

Earlier this year, I posted a plea for help getting my '29 pickup to run. I was amazed when more than 14,000 viewed my initial post and the follow up reporting, as well as the more than 200 of you who offered useful suggestions before we discovered a bad ground seemed to be the main culprit...

About six weeks ago, I posted the thread “Who Can Solve This Mystery? Win a Prize?” Astoundingly, it was viewed more than 11,000 times and more than 200 of you wrote replies with suggestions to solve the problem that was causing my 29 CC P/U to intermittently sputter, backfire and fail to run...

I'm new, inexperienced and at my wits end trying to resolve an issue that's about ready to make me walk away from my Model A, a '29 pickup. Even the best and brightest in our club (Gawd bless 'em for their patience with me) are shaking their heads. The problem: The engine starts right up...

I've searched the archives and seen several suggestions but no one seems to have posted the definitive answer on how to get LED tail light inserts to flash properly with a steering-column-mounted turn signal setup. Many have explained the problem is that the LED's do not draw enough current...

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one with overheating issues, although I'd wish this problem on no one. I've read the other recent and archived threads and followed all advice but no I'm stymied as what could be wrong. My 29 CCPU (which is new to me) seems to run all day around town and 35-40...

I need tubes for my 29 CCPU. Coker sells a 440/450-21 Tube TR-24 with Offset Rubber Stem for $31.95 each. Snyders sells its rubber-stemmed tube for a 21" wheel for $15.75. Anybody know what is the difference? And before some wag finds his calculator to tell me the difference is $16.20, I know...

I'm new at this and have just acquired a 29 closed cab pickup. It is an older restoration and I intend to drive it on club tours and other outings. I know the body color (Manilla Brown?) is not original to a '29 commercial body and the wheels (which should be black, I understand) are also...

Looking for 1929 North Carolina plates in restored/good condition OR original without major rust and damage that would preclude restoring them. Would prefer a matched pair but will consider singles, too.
